Men who are abusers usually tend to stay away from women who can defend themselves anyway. That was my point.
Majority of all abuse towards women is domestic. You said armed women are less likely to be victims of such abuse. You support pulling a gun on your husband or boyfriend??

Thank you for pointing that out. Of course, gun fondlers, living in their I-want-my-gun-and-nobody-is-going-to-take-it-from-me world will say that just doesn't happen. Nah, of course it doesn't happen... until it does.

If it came to that, duh, yeah. Then of course they would not be my husband or boyfriend anymore.

Once again, abusive men tend to avoid getting involved with women who can defend themselves in the first place so there would be no need for that woman to pull the gun.

So if a woman has the misfortune of being in an abusive relationship, you recommend her pulling out the gun and pointing it at her husband or boyfriend?

If she needs to defend her life or safety at that moment, of course. And vice versa.

Is every act of domestic violence a life or death situation?? I'd bet the majority are not.

How do you know this?

I bet the ladies that have dies from domestic abuse will disagree with you. And who says if a gun is pulled one person will end up dead?

Abuse

about 1,100 women a year would disagree....
